About Brenda

Brenda Clarke-Wills BSc (Hons) Psyche Open MBACP offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She mentions work around divorce and separation among other concerns. Brenda writes in a straightforward way and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can begin to talk about what feels hardest right now.

She listens for the history behind current difficulties and helps people make sense of recurring patterns. Brenda uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. She also draws on cognitive behavioural work to build practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her style is person-centred and collaborative. That means the conversation follows what matters to the client rather than a fixed script. Sessions include exploring feelings, trying new ways of coping, and practising skills to manage stress and emotions.

With three years of combined training and volunteering experience, Brenda aims to increase self-awareness and emotional resilience. She describes supporting clients to develop healthier boundaries, reduce burnout, and work through grief or difficult relationship patterns. The BSc (Hons) Psyche Open and MBACP details appear as provided.

She invites questions before starting so people can judge whether she feels like the right counsellor. Booking usually begins by using the Start Therapy flow and completing a short matching questionnaire, after which scheduling can be arranged according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations in current relationships. Online sessions using this approach can support people working through connection issues, abandonment worries or bonding difficulties in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. In remote sessions clients might learn practical exercises, homework tasks and short tools to reduce anxiety or shift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to better match what helps.

For practicalities, please confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people value online work because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes continued contact possible when life circumstances change, while letting the therapist and client focus on skills, reflection and problem solving in regular meetings.
